If two teams have the same record and have played each other, then the winner of the matchup is the better team. there should be no question about that, especially considering how tough USC's schedule was.

I agree with this.

We had to share our 4th straight WAC championship with Nevada, even though we demolished them outright.

Lame rule.

funny thing, a few years ago, texas had had the same record as OU at the end of the year. OU beat texas in the cotton bowl, so OU was the big 12 south rep in the champ. game. well. mack brown decided his players deserved rings for losing to oklahoma.

to say that Cal deserves a share of the Pac-10 title would be like saying that two fighters who have the same record and have fought recently are perfectly equal even though one fighter whooped the other's azz

I never argued which team deserves a share of the Pac-10 title. I said that we have a share of the title, and you (incorrectly) disputed that.

And all of this talk about USC being a better team is completely out of scope.

I knew the system was rotten, but I had no idea that the system was rotten to the core. YOu have to admit that Cal doesnt deserve a share of the Pac-10 title.

Have you never heard of Thunder and Lightning? Brian Leonard and Ray Rice?! The team that should truly be #1 in the Big East? Our win over Louisville, the most watched ESPN Thursday night game in history?

Ever

You know... looking at all the Stoops to Bama rumors... it seems more likely these rumors about a coach leaving Oklahoma have centered pretty quickly on Stoops. Kevin Wilson would seem like a much much better fit for Bama. He;s proved himself capable, he wouldn't be able to demand the cash Stoops could, and he may be looking for an upward movement into a head position.

only people that wanted to see a rematch are big 10 folks. And yes Wisconsin does play us

Soooo not true. I couldn't care less about the Big 10 conference or the SEC or whatever the hell Florida is in, I just think Michigan got royally screwed. It's about fairness, plain and simple, and Michigan got robbed.

Does anyone else see a "hey, we were REALLY the national champions" à la USC in '03 (*pukes*), if osu goes down to florida?
